pic related is that i've spent way too much time romhacking to make RPGs and never finished anything
so here's what i want you guys to do. i want you wall me beyond all comprehension with something that looks like this, because if you haven't figured out how any of this works, then you aren't designing an RPG yet, you're writing a story
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/snes/554041-final-fantasy-iii/faqs/13573
i think you all know actually who i am now, and if you provide your battle algo, i'll give you as much feedback as i possibly can on how it's good, bad, and neutral. use a pastebin if you have to. Which game has best MODding support?
My vote goes to Fallout 2, hands down best mod scene these are better then original game Why does everyone just want to be a basic human knight with a greatsword now? Post your favorite build you've ever played, preferably in image form.
Also, if you're willing:
>favorite town
>favorite music
>favorite dungeon
>favorite npc
>favorite bossfight
>favorite food item
>favorite sprite >"OI You there!"
>"Stop sleeping on the streets you nigger"
those were different times.... different BG... Any other RPGs in 40k universe beside Rogue Trader? Elin releases in 12 hours. (Successor to Elona)

What the fuck is going on with this game? I hate all the male companions in bg3 because they all want to gay rape you The ver 2.00 update is coming soon.
Innocent Rules's translation is almost done too. Which is your Favorite Fire Emblem, Final Fantasy, Tales of Series, Other JRPG, Type-Moon, 07th Expansion, Key/Tactics, Other Visual Novel, Pokemon, Digimon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Other Mons?
>Characters and Creatures Only not Games! Alright fellas give me genuinely bad JRPGS.
And for genuinely bad I don't mean shit you don't like or weak mainstream entries like Pokémon Sword/Shield or FFXIII, I'm actively looking for wretched forgotten poorly made kusoges and memorably bad hidden gems.
What do I begin with? >We want the white female audience Everyone talks about how the NWN expansions are good and how amazing of a follower Deekin is but his voice is kinda annoying and nothing about him makes me think he is really cool or awesome. Does he get better later on? I kinda preferred the dwarf rogue and the orc mage and regret bringing him over the others. Also Shadows of Undrentide is significantly less fun than the main game >One of the most flawed ARPGs ever made
>Still love it to death
There's just something about this game that keeps me coming back time and time again. Undertale Yellow's 1st year anniversary happened very recently. How do you think the game's aged? Did the devs answer the questions you wanted?
Are you developing a fangame? Share progress! when does this trash get good? This game kinda sucks ass so far. Is the remaster an improvement? Should I skip it? I tried playing this for the 100th time but I always suck. How can I git gud? >Human trafficking is... le good
What a bizarre message for a videogame. >teaser was released 6 years ago
>no proper trailer, no news, and, most importantly, no game
>in that time, Rockstar went from announcing RDR2 to announcing GTA VI
>in that time, the first ray-tracing graphics cards became available to consumers
>IN THAT TIME, FromSoftware has released remasters for Dark Souls 1 & 2, Sekiro, Elden Ring, and Armored Core 6
>teaser outlived the Nazi war machine
>teaser outlived the Confederate States of America
>teaser outlived my fucking relationship
>Spencer says it's probably not coming out until after 2028
>imagine releasing a teaser for Stalker when the Twin Towers still existed
>imagine releasing a teaser for RE4 before DvD's existed
>imagine releasing a teaser for Half-Life when Berlin was still divided by a fucking wall
What the FUCK is Todd doing?? I think i am strange in my opinion black souls I much more interesting than Black souls II What do you think? >16 hours in
>story has been very hit or miss
>gameplay is mediocre at best
>interested enough to want to know more
>not sure if interested enough to keep playing
Does xenogears get better? I'm at the part right after becoming the battling champion and before what seems to be an imminent purge on Kislev by Gebler, and it's really getting tough to keep going bc everything feels so inconsistent. There are moments where it's great and the story is interesting and the mysteries make me want to know more, and then it'll be sidetracked for an hour or two by clunky gameplay or story that is just shit, like a hamfisted fighting game or sewer level exploration, when i just fucking want to know the next bit of the actual story What is /vrpg/'s thoughts on Metaphor ReFantazio? I'm looking for (J)RPGs with genuinely living worlds where the protagonist isn't the center of the universe and NPCs go about their own adventures, slaying monsters, buying new gear, trading with each other, growing stronger, forging friendships and alliances etc. Also the world being in a constant state of change would be nice too.
The only such game I've played so far is Space Rangers 2. Rangers in that game buy new equipment, change their ships, take on missions etc. The universe is also constantly changing, with systems being conquered by either the dominators, pirates or coalition. New space stations are also being built (many of which are funded by NPCs) and destroyed and so on.
Please tell me there are more such games out there. Post your ideal RPG companions. For me it's the cute shy glasses girl with healing magic. Possible Reign of Winter Pathfinder teaser by Owlcat. Opinions on this adventure path and how it would translate to their style of crpgs? Shiren Mystery Dungeon 6 just had DLC announced in the japanese nintendo direct

Why? There are like 20 female characters you can flirt with and only 3 male Any truly philisophical RPGs out there? Or its just low brow toy for zoomers these days? I've thought about playing this game for a while because it looks very pretty and I've not played a JRPG in years. What's the general opinion on it? JRPG fans, is it any good? I really enjoy the setting of dark souls employed in jarpigs and was looking for moar games. I really enjoyed enchant quest and ASYLUM so far, also did black souls and even though I enjoyed it it didn't get the feel I'm looking for quite right. Who's the best girl in FFVIII? >what if we made a MOBA where each round lasts for multiple weeks and the only way to gain materiel advantage is to poopsock from the first minute?
why do RPG devs insist on dying on their garbage pvp ideas hill? 
The RPG scene is absolutely loaded with pseuds who think just because a mechanic is somewhat esoteric and intimidating to newcomers, it is therefore deep. Nah, often it's just bad design. Morrowind's attributes add zero gameplay depth; they are mathematically redundant with skills. E.g. the Intelligence attribute governs Alchemy, Conjuration, Enchant, and Security so a buff/debuff modifier of n% to Intelligence will modify each of those skills by the corresponding amount. But that's no different than simply modifying each respective skill individually by n%. It's just throwing extra numbers to the equation for the sake of having more numbers.
I won't speak to the lore, but most of the mechanics streamlining of the subsequent TES games were outright improvements. The main exception being the magic system although even that's overstated. Mages were OP in Morrowind. I wouldn't normally be anal about balance in a single-player game except that the mage kit pretty much eclipsed thief playstyles entirely. >people keep telling me mods fix it
>look at the mods in question
>they all just replace town names and move them about and replace unit trees instead of fixing any of the mechanical issues
Why do people keep lying about mods fixing this game's glaring flaws? What are your top 3 rpgs ever? 
This so far feels like an overall step down from Tower of Time.
What I like is the combat and the idea of multiclassing, while none of the characters are as unique as the ToT heroes the ability to mix and match is a lot more fun in my opinion, since in ToT you'd gravitate to a few paths/abilities that make your team broken and go for that.
What I dislike here is mainly the maps for combat encounters and the fact that every map looks the same, even if you stop going to side missions(which would be a very bad idea since you miss out on research and crafting material). ToT had enemies constantly spawning in sure, but they never appeared out of thin air, instead their spawn points where pretty obvious on the map which meant every fight your kiting strategy always makes sense. Here because of the pseudo stealth system and the non-instanced design of encounters enemies just swarm in onto you and you have very little oppurtunities to kite them because every single map is super open with the expectation that you'll be using the cover system(which plain sucks if you're playing on Insane/a glass cannon) so it becomes a game of funneling enemies into environmental hazards and abusing your limited AoE skills out of the ass.
The whole proc gen/side missions makes things a lot less interesting than the tower too. The biggest thing I feel is missing are the secrets and rewarding exploration which doesn't nearly hold a candle to ToT.
Also the voice barks during battle are god damn infuriating mainly because they had the brilliant idea of having your siblings scream very loudly when attacking/being attacked and their VAs aren't as nice to listen to as any of the ToT heroes. >nu-RPG writing
oblivion with guns was beggining of the end of decent RPGs i say car missions in Mass Effect are wack The piece of shit Solasta is getting a sequel despite the devs seemingly having learned nothing from the first game because the UI and characters are still disgusting. I can wait no longer... Illidan is out there somewhere. >That party member you absolutely hated on your first playthrough, and benched, but warmed up to in subsequent playthroughs and promoted to first team starter
Who was it /vrpg/? For me it's pic related. DPS powerhouse and her banter lightened the mood a fair bit. Do you consider it an rpg? Postem lads!
Doesn't have to be the hottest, although she can be, as long as you'd wife her.
NO MODS you cunts, this is a gentlemen's thread Has this ever happened to you with an RPG? This reminds me of something, but I can't quite put my finger on it... any topdown isometric rpg with cute and sexy girls?
but not a porn game Trying to get back into gaming after a decade of drug abuse and vagabond lifestyle.
My favorite genres were strategy games and rpgs (both jrpgs and wrpgs).
Tried the Witcher 3, Chained Echoes and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 recently. And holy shit what's up with the excessive handholding and obnoxious quest markers? It completely ruins games for me. I like figuring out things myself and exploring (find it immersive).
Are all modern games like this? Are there games that aren't like this? >jrpg

There's something to be said about more simple RPG plotlines that japan offers. "Pillars of Eternity was chock-full of writing styles which experienced writers tend to advise against," he said, his nose twitching. He glances to the left, then the right, then up, then down. You notice one of his sleeves is a slightly different shade to the other. "In fact, you could say that the writing of Pillars 1 was bloated, and constantly interrupted the flow of -" he paused, yawning loudly and scratching his backside with a lazy pawing motion - "dialogue. Like people don't need to know - " time seems to slow, and you feel that once upon a time in another life, this man was a farmer "- a bunch of useless details to get an understanding of who a person is. Where you meet a person and how they speak can communicate it with good writing." He said, wearing a rag-tag tunic, frayed pants, and with a slightly unkempt beard, hinting that he was some sort of peasant. I just got this game. Did U make the right decision? Any other RPGs with branching paths like Langrisser and Tactics Ogre? Still waiting on the Graces remake, but the fan-translation of Rebirth is now out >Some autismo literally makes a superior rpg maker using a game engine (godot) than enterbrain Just bought the entire D&D classics set, has everything from Pool of Radiance to Stone Prophet. What am I in for? So guys I bought a Switch lite and the sound and visuals are meh. Anyway, I bought Kingdom Come Deliverance and it's a borefest. I think the game is simply not fun on the Lite.
Last consoles I had were ps3/xbox360 and 3ds. I have no gaming pc.
What games are good on the Lite? I mostly like rpgs, both western and eastern.
Is DQ XI fun on a small screen? Arcanum is my favorite game of all time
Describe what kind of person you think I am "GO FOR THE EYES BOO! GO FOR THE EYES! HRRAAAAARGH!!!!!!"
hahaha I fucking love Minsc 
I finished Fear & Hunger 2: Termina with all characters on Masoχ-S/M. Here's my final character ranking based on objective gameplay factors.
>S tier
Max consistency, no exploits needed to win the game.
>S- (exploit) tier
The easiest way to beast the game on the hardest difficulty if you use "exploits". Whether something qualifies as an exploit or not is subjective but it's easy to see why they're relying on things that go from "kind of overpowered" to "outright [de]bug abuse".
>A tier
It's honest work, but it's consistent.
>B tier
Would put S to A characters here, if you picked suboptimal starting skills.
>C tier
You get at least one useful reliable thing from your character's start.
>D tier
You get nothing, you need to get lucky to survive, highest demand on player's action skill (dodging enemies, planning your route well, etc.).
The most obvious exploit right away is the debug tile that gives you a rifle + bolt cutters. You can, in example, empty the rifle into Chaugnar in Tunnel 7 for a free extra early soul -> possibly earlier Weaponcraft -> Meat Grinder. The Chaugnar fight is easy to fuck up even when you've got good gear. Then there are Rher dimension exploits
>infinite food/small keys/money (and fast) from the neighbor near the Golden Gate in White Mold Apartments (accessible to anyone)
>infinite bear/booba traps from the top left darkness corner in the Broken Shack Rher dimension, accessible from the ritual circle
>extra Sylvan healing from Mayor's Manor ritual circle (requires entering the Rher dimension from Golden Gates)
Finally, you can get infinite Gro-goroth affinity with Blood Sacrifice, so if you use that you don't need to draw a symbol. Not as huge as it might seem though, you only need one circle to max Gro-goroth affinity (I would recommend using it in the manor). Summon Night is a good series.
Can we get a thread going? What should be Revan's canonical class + Jedi spec + ending in KOTOR 1 according to the lore? Does he go full LS? Does he stay in the middle? Should he even dual wield (since flashbacks show him with one saber)?
I'm looking to do a "canon" playthrough this time.
Also KOTOR thread, I guess. is Square Enix solely to blame for how terrible this game is doing? why do indiies even bother with meme publishers at all Now that the dust has settled, can someone explain the plot? I never played the first game so I feel like I'm missing something. >want to play an Owlcat CRPG
>only alternative to Pathfinder is a dumbass RPG set on the parody land of Warhammer 40k
>two minutes in and all characters are just dumbass caricatures
Why do people love Warhammer and Warhammer 40k so much? It is so dumb and taints everything it touches.
I wish people would just forget Warhammer and make their own fantasy / sci-fi universe. share some hidden jrpg gems, the more obscure, the better.
non-translated titles are also welcomed. >decided to pick it up after months of shilling (pic related)
>voice acting runs out 2 minutes in
>the entire game consists of about 3 colours (brown, grey and "stained bathroom tiles" green)
>enemy AI just b-lines for you until whatever attack it has equipped is in range, then stops and spams attack until you're out of range, repeat
>combat is literally just "spam left click until enemies fall over, if one of your 3 bars runs low pause and drink a potion to instantly refill it, repeat"
>you have to manually left click every corpse that appears and click "delete corpse" every single time, otherwise the game breaks
>enemies get stuck on terrain
>summons get stuck on terrain
>no companions (because they'd get stuck on terrain, painfully obvious when you get a quest to escort an NPC from point A to B)
>flying enemies get stuck on the skybox
>NPCs can't open closed doors
>NPCs don't know they can't open closed doors so they just run in place trying to path through the door Why is this specific world stuck at 96%?
I've done literally everything I could think of. Who here is Fucking hyped for the Suikoden 1/2 remaster? I just really hope we also get a 3 remaster! That would be one of the most Based things ever Fucking made!
Everyone knows these are two of the top RPG games ever created. I literally don't meet no Compagnos that are Based RPG enjoyers and don't be liking Suikoden series! Literally not a single person Fucking ever!
Let's all hype each other up! 
>Should you be able to find hidden items before your character learns about them from a quest giver
>should you be able to wield/wear everything you find or should items be locked behind specific traits/skills (eg. "this armor is too heavy for you") or simply you need to reach a certain level
>should you be able to win fights with enemies [much]above your level by being a skillful player or does it make more sense to make them too hard to be practically possible without appropriate items
I've been playing witcher enhanced edition recently, and I like the fact that you have to gain the skill off gathering herbs and read a relevant books to gather herbs, or that you need to read books about monsters to be able to loot them. Compared to witcher 3 that doesn't have similar looting system, but blocks you from using weapons and armor that is above your level it is much better.
So what's the ideal balance between blocking you because your character isn't skilled yet, and allowing you to overcome obstacles with playing the game well? anyone know any good vampire rpgs that really get the player in the mindset of vampirism? i.e. hunting/feeding should be a major component
im aware of vtmb, vampyr, and skyrim. any others? Which game to start with? Are the games easy or hard (I do not care either way just curious)? I dig the art style and feel curious about it. Can we all collectively agree that Devil Survivor is one of the best Shin Megami Tensei games on a point where no one, not even Atlus, will make games like this anymore? Which Final Fantasy game is your favorite? I prefer VI. I felt its characters, gameplay, and plot were above any of the others in the series. What is most gore filled RPG? pls post examples has this 9/10's legacy been tarnished by how every subsequent game in the series has been 5/10 and below? It's once again AE's birthday month. Do you have fond memories of their games? FF7 Shinra Archaeology team released a mod for the Seventh Heaven mod manager, but exacly what it add in the original OG game? It's worth adding it to the list? ITT give a quick comparison of the Xenoblade games/share which you think are worth it.
My only exposure to the series is the original version of XC1 on a Wii emulator. I limped my way through to the end of the main story on a sort of quarter-completionist playthrough, didn't bother with aftergame shit at all. I remember thinking it was a decent JRPG with a cool world to explore and a fun "figure out these distinctive characters" foundation to the combat system, weighed down by side content that was way way on the excessive side... it's been about 15 years, I don't remember all that well. what did you guys think of this game? just beat it for the first time the other day and i thought it was very solid if very long with less plot happenings than usual. somnom woods is one of the best areas in the series and the whole concept of reviving a lost people was really interesting. the boss battles were especially great, even the giant battles were better than bis's imo despite having to emulate gyro with a mouse. that said i wish they did more interesting stuff with the dream world, the luiginary mechanics were neat but the worlds themselves were just the real world but slightly different except dream's deep. even when you entered others' dreams it really wasn't that different.
if you wanna talk about brothership too make another thread because i haven't played it yet, have played the original trilogy though. Why didnt it have a bigger cultural impact? Rpg codex rated it as GOTY 2023. Installing this, what should i expect? What are you hoarding?
Most of people its potions "just in case".
I for some reason hoard fucking keys, i dont know why - its just tought in back of my head i might need that one later on and wont be able to find it if ill throw it away. 3 minutes later i have over 9000 fucking keys from beggining of the game to the very last boss. Sometimes i dont even keep them in container/bag just fucking put it from place to place. Same goes with quest notes/letters/book "i might fucking need them one of these days"
How about you? After playing Xenosaga I am really craving for some space opera jrpg so I set my eyes on this... but apparently all games in the franchise are online and I don't really care for MMORPGs.
Should I bother with it? >abilities, held items, weather, terrain, entry hazards, trick room, and the gen gimmick (megas, z-moves, dynamax, tera).
Pokéchads have the most mechanically complex RPG and it's not even close. So what exactly was the deal with this? Oops I chose the evil path again AKA how fast you tend to get rich in videogames by hoarding like a loot goblin then selling months old rusted swords to every vendor in town until you can buy your own kingdom. Things tend to work well during a game's first 10 to 20 hours at absolute best but sooner or later you end up overpowered and with more money than you know what to buy with it.
How do you fix that? How do you balance an economy so the player always feels on the level and never abounding with cash? How do you keep it 'grounded'? Who thought it would be a good idea to design a female character that looks like a misplaced Bratz doll from one of those cheap 3Daz porn games with a whole dollar store Halloween Special bundle glued to her head?
Are those supposed to be natural growths? Because they look like plastic props from the Unreal free assets section. Then again, her face also looks like it's made of plastic, so maybe it's an intentional motif. There is no such thing as chaos route in Shin Megami Tensei, there are only routes with different types of law fighting each other. Was Ravel a tragic character?
At the end of the day she only followed her nature Anyone doing a replay? Please, feel free to post your characters/builds, and what is going on in your playthrough. Underrail Infusion Alpha Gameplay Revealed

Fuck Warhammer 40k, what a waste on a boring gay ass setting. Is it actually worth picking up now? I'm wary of it because it's still in Early Access but there is an upcoming "1.0 patch". How much content is there in it right now? Granblue Relink is the hidden gem of 2024. Will it ever get a rerelease, remaster, or remake? Anyone have their save corrupted playing this?
Playing this on Switch. I'm up to the Fire Fortress using Sarah as my protag. I've been swapping in and out of the Command Mode. I swapped Sarah back into the party, and now there's a black screen when any battle starts. If I select actions the screen appears again, but it won't let me select actions as Sarah at all. The screen just flickers black when I try.
Continues to work fine in Command Mode tho.
Please, I don't wanna restart the whole game again. Played most of the old FFs btw SLAVBROS we are so fucking back

Why the fuck was this recommended to me? This is not a good JRPG. Only the combat is somewhat decent.
Recommend me good jrpgs for the switch. Is Octopath Traveler 2 good? The personality test at the beginning of dragon quest 3 is suprirpisingly accurate if you answer it honestly. Which version is superior: PS2, Gamecube, or Xbox?
Graphics? Framerate? Sound? Extra content? Controller button layout? So where did she end up after this?

Anyone else think the whole JRPG=Churches Bad Kill God thing is completely overblown? I'm not religious but i have friends that are and we talked about how we its not nearly ubiquitous as ppl make it out to be. Yeah theres a few critical like FFX, Grandia 2, a few of the Tales games SMT etc but most ive played seem to take a neutral or positive stance on it with the church healing you and God being the final boss isn't really that common, moreso its just A god or some really powerful dude or demon. I also feel if Japan thought it was really that bad it wouldnt be just churches but temples, mosques, synagogues etc all the time but just church which makes me feel its just exotic set dressings using something popular, yeah ik theres some history behind japan's relations with Christianity back then but again it seems like most either dont care that much or just find it interesting to use today
TLDR: I think the whole JRPGS are anti christian thing is overblown, its there yes but mostly just Japanese following tropes and exotic foreign things and its just Reddit neckbeards projecting their wet dreams >villain has the exact same powerlevel as the hero but they lose because they don't have the power of friendship Why's this bitch so fucking clingy post your favourite death screens from RPGs, ill start: Did you like the story better in nier Replicant or automata?

Just from trailers and watching some live gameplay it looks like it's New Vegas in space with better textures and more color theory. How right or fucked am I? Wandering Sword is getting a big update in a couple of days, haven't tried the game yet.

>It all began with a stone...
This was probably the worst "add-on scenario" I had the displeasure of completing.
Released in 2009, it begs the question "What were they thinking?"
But like most bad jrpgs, I think a lot of it can be explained by poor localization, marketing, and materials never put into context outside of Japan. So in an attempt to try and appreciate it I'm going to try to piece together that context.
To begin, the scenario title in japanese translates to something like "A Stone's Dream: A soul's reply (ode) to the song (musical lay) to end Vana'diel"
This was dumbed down to A Crystalline Prophecy: Ode to Life Bestowing
The big picture is that despite being a mainline final fantasy games, FF11 didn't actually use the Final Fantasy theme music until this. Accompanying this release was a soundtrack. "Ode to Life Bestowing" is what they named the track using the FF Main Theme.
Typically, the Main Theme plays on the title screen or in the prologue. FF11's prologue features a boy (Aldo) and his sister, and this scenario sorta explains what happened to them afterwards while plugging the main theme in as a narrative device. This is a Megaman Legends apreciation thread, please share your thoughts about this top best incarnation of the blue bomber What makes the Ys series special compared to other Action RPGs? >seemingly generic medieval fantasy rpg
>it's actually set in a post-apocalyptic distant future Anything worth mentioning other than SKALD (miniscule Ultima-inspired RPG with "Lovecraftian elements") or "Drova" - Gothic in 2D, but it's Just 2D because the developers are all programmers, so 2D is the only kind of graphics they could do? Is there a game where I can play as catgirl with a big sword? Preferably not FF14 (as I don't want to switch gender and race), and maybe one where she is the mc? >makes all the female character behave cute, submissive and lovingly (but makes it explicit they are all turbo whores with body counts in the dozens except for minthara who was a lesbian and therefore a virgin)
>makes all the male characters weirdo sex pest gay rapists who you can't be friends with because they try to gay rape you and are therefore unlikeable
>even, for the longest time, have a bug* where halsin and gale keep having their romance flags flipped on even if you don't romance them or reject them
Why?
*read intentional feature WuWa is my first RPG game and I am in love with it. Can we make a thread with in game screenshots and fan arts kinda thing. Hey anons. I'm feeling especially cozy this Christmas, and was wanting to know what you folk do to really vibe out and immerse yourself in any given RPG. I'm currently revisiting Elden Ring, and it's perfect with the first person mod, a bit of liquor, and a "Goblin synth" playlist. It feels like I'm playing DnD if that makes sense, it's a really fun experience and bandwagon be damned, Elden Ring is a solid video game. The first person mod really makes it a new experience, and makes the perspectives in the level design shine. Sorry, didn't mean to rhyme, I'm slightly drunk. 
>build choices are actually meaningful with tradeoffs, rather than just number bloat (i.e. no "+1.5% bonus damage against demons when below 9.1% health and surrounded by fire."), something akin to EVs and limited moveslots in Pokemon
>levels aren't emphasized - you can win underleveled if you have good strategy/tactics. optional: caps EXP at certain points in the game to prevent level grinding
>progression is not fully linear (but also not open world slop) and the order you tackle content matters and creates tradeoffs; i.e. beating boss Y first gives reward which makes boss X and Z easier, but is riskier than doing Z first for reward which makes Y easier
>difficulty is reasonable but lenient enough that it allows a variety of strategies and approaches to work (so no Kaizo-tier autism where you have a 5% chance to win with good luck and damage calculators).
>interesting moves and mechanics that work off a variety of different formulas (direct damage scaled off stats, health % based damage, fixed damage, a variety of status effects, and interesting synergy between all of the above, etc)
>a lot of potential for challenge runs which are actually interesting (such as LV.1 Frog in FFV, or Weak Mode in IZJS, HC Nuzlockes)
>elemental weaknesses/resistances may exist, but they are interesting with a lot of variables (e.g. dual-typings, STAB, weather synergy in Pokemon) and not the only factor in move choice (depending on variables you might use a neutral move over a "super effective" one)
>enemies/bosses have unique mechanics and gimmicks which encourage a variety of approaches; there is no "one-size-fits-all" strategy which is always optimal (no brainer)
Any JRPGs which fit these criteria? My favorite game is FF5. >play larian game
>expect gay tiresome shit
>choose most badass looking character just in case
>its fucking red dragon out of hell
>his VA is some faggot
we cant have nice thing cant we? Is it worth playing through? I have tried to get into it twice but the gameplay seemed really slow and dull, and I heard it gets even worse in the second entry.
